First Quadcopter

This new Pokémon GO craziness, as I saw in a YouTube video, ends it up with some dude trying to hunt them using a mini quadcopter just like this Cheerson CX-10WD. Frankly, I don't know how he came up with this stupid idea. He probably opted for this CX10WD because it looks pretty cool and it has many reviews. The CX-10WD...

As many other quadcopter manufacturer, YiZhan decided to upgrade their product line with altitude hold feature. The YiZhan i8H quadcopter's flight controller is equipped with barometric air-pressure sensor which allows the aircraft to autonomously keep stable the flying altitude. This is a great feature especially if you want to use your quad for aerial filming. Taking into consideration the design of the i8H I...

Currently there is a large variety of FPV goggles on the market, from cheap ones like this KDS Kylin to very expensive ones that can cost even $ 700. Being not too familiar with FPV goggles I wanted firstly to test something cheap in order to see if it's worth investing more in a high-end model. This is the reason...

Huanqi H899 quadcopter for aerial filming Just returned from my one week holiday I started to look for new quadcopters and I came across this Huanqi H899 drone. The manufacturer advertises this model to be powerful enough to lift GoPro and alike action cameras. Of course, this can be possible but frankly I would not have the confidence to hang my $ 450 GoPro Hero...

A waterproof quadcopter means that the aircraft can be immersed underwater. Usually, waterproof drones are extremely expensive because they have different designs and require special components. JJRC Toys claims that their $33 H31 quad can be submerged in water and still be able to fly. Honestly, I doubt this thing and I want to test myself on this JJRC...

Idea-Fly Mars 350 - poor man's Phantom quad Till this Mars 350, Idea-Fly had other nice quadcopters but none succeeded to become popular and frankly I don't now exactly why. It could be something like weak marketing or poor after market support. In the age of DJI Phantom 4, the features of Idea-Fly Mars 350 seem to be from the dinosaurs era. Without offering fancy features like...

After you pay about $ 1000 for a quadcopter, you will want to carry and store your precious toy in the safest possible way. In my opinion, a hard case like this Realacc is the best solution for transporting your Phantom 3 quadcopter when you are traveling by car. Until now, I stored my Phantom 3 Advanced in its original...

The biggest innovation of this FQ11W over the older FQ777 models is the foldable arms. If I remember correctly, FQ777 was among the first manufacturers who offered truly pocket drones. In my opinion, it is a great idea to store the quad inside the remote controller. Unlike its predecessors, this FQ777 FQ11W features a WiFI FPV camera which allows real-time...

Currently, there are several types of FPV displays on the market but the most widespread are the 7" FPV screens and FPV glasses. Frankly, I don't think that gadgets like this GTeng T909 watch can compete with FPV goggles because they are not too practical. I think they can be used more for fun than for truly professional usage. Although...

JJRC H12WH with WiFi first person view camera It looks that JJRC did not give up the H12 series because they just announced the third generation of this model.  Biggest advantage of this new JJRC H12WH over its predecessors is the barometric air-pressure sensor. Thanks to this feature the aircraft is capable to maintain its flight altitude stable at the desired level. On first...
